The White House on Friday approved Governor Andy Beshear’s April 11th request for a Major Disaster Declaration, which included individual assistance for Kentuckians in 13 counties including Hardin County.
According to a release from the governor’s office, Hardin County residents and business owners who sustained losses in the flooding may now begin applying for assistance at disasterassistance.gov, by calling FEMA at 1-800-621-3362, or by using the FEMA app.
When applying for assistance make sure you upload documents via disasterassistance.gov or the FEMA app. Your damaged home should be your primary residence, you should not have received assistance for the same losses from another source such as insurance, and FEMA should be able to reach you at your provided contact information.
Appeals to FEMA decisions may be made at disasterassistance.gov, by mail or fax, or in person at a disaster recovery center. According to a post on the Hardin County Government Facebook page, the county is working with FEMA on the details for the local center’s opening.
Additional counties will be added to the disaster declaration by amendment following the completion of additional assessments. The governor’s request for public assistance for 33 counties, including Hardin and LaRue, and hazard mitigation for the entire state are still pending.
More information on the disaster declaration is available on the governor’s website.
